Help getting re-started
Hi
I have recently collected a part 1 and part 2 ‘almost assembled kit’ for completion.
It’s not a rolling chassis yet but it should be after a visit to the scrappy to collect a set of drum based stub axels and a set of wheel bearings from the factors.
Not sure what bearings yet?
I should achieve this over the Xmas holiday and be able to move the chassis on to the drive to work on it when the sun shines over the break. (Should that be IF)
One of the problems I have is that I do not have the CD Build Manual as supplied with the original kit. I am told that it’s not worth a great deal in the grand scheme of things and life goes on without it. However, I need to see it to ensure I am not missing cute or subtle bits of the build, especially as I did not build the kit to its current state!
I am told the CD illustrates the build sequence for example?
At this moment I don’t know what’s ‘not’ been done, if you get my drift. I also like to be fully prepared before I start or it all gets messy and things have to be re-worked time and again to complete simple jobs and I want to avoid that.
I have already received support from a couple of local (South West) builders with access to the full WKC series of articles, which are; I am told more comprehensive than the CD manual.
In the lead up to Xmas I will be cleaning and painting all the iron bits from the scrappy and the new iron bits on the kit, or they all go rusty long term.
Need to ‘spanner check’ all the fitted bits and then ….. I am off building with a K-series VVC donor.
You opinions and options are welcome.
My Robin Hood EXMO passed its SVA on Monday, on to better things!
